Skull & Roses
- Challenge: Pass or Bid More?
- The player who issues the challenge announces the number of cards he or she intends to flip over from among all those placed on the play mats of all the players.
- Going clockwise, each player must then:
- Either raise the stakes by increasing the previous bid.
- Or pass their turn and push their game mat to the middle of the table.
- Continue until all the players have passed except one, the highest bidder, called the “challenger”
- No player can place cards on their mats anymore.
- A challenge can be issued by offering to flip over just a single card.
- The value of the following bids is open, and doesn't have to increase by only 1 at a time.
- A player who passes cannot bid again.
- Placement of cards: Place a card or challenge?
- The first player can play a second card face-down on top of the first one played.
- The player to their left can do the same, and so on.
- Continue in this way, clockwise, until a player either can no longer play or no longer wants to continue.
- When their turn comes to play a card, a player can decide not to play an extra card and can challenge someone instead.
- Only one card is played at a time.
- A player who no longer has any cards in hand MUST issue a challenge.
- The challenger must reveal the number of cards from his or her bet while following these rules:
- The challenger starts by revealing the cards from his or her own mat.
- On the mats, the cards are revealed in order, starting from the top.
- The challenger is never forced to reveal all the cards placed on the mats of other players.
- The cards are revealed one at a time.
- If the challenger has revealed his own Skull, the challenger chooses the card to be discarded himself, by looking at them, without showing anything to the other players.
- If the eliminated challenger has revealed his own Skull, he will decide who the first player for the next turn will be. Otherwise, the first player for the next turn will be the owner of the revealed Skull.
- The Skull has been revealed among the cards of an opponent: the challenger shuffles his cards and places them face down.
- That card is placed in the middle of the table and remains hidden.
- The opponent randomly selects, without touching it, one card to be discarded.
- If the challenger loses his last card, he is eliminated from the game and turns in his mat.
- The challenger loses one of his cards for good. They will be the only one to know if it was a Skull or Roses.
- The players each take their cards back into their hands.
- If the challenger reveals a Skull, they have failed and stop flipping cards for their bet immediately.
- Win 2 Bets or be the last one standing
- Each player secretly looks at the hidden face of the cards kept in their hand, then chooses a single one to be placed face down on their mat.
- Whether the bet has been won or lost, the challenger is the first player for the next round, which starts again at placement phase.
